Plasma Whip

From Ratchet & Clank wiki

The Plasma Whip acted much like Ratchet's wrench, visually represented as a whip. It could be used to hit enemies that were near you. Each time it is used, its range was a circle around you and hit anything near you. It is first available from a vendor on Florana. It upgraded to the Quantum Whip.

In Secret Agent Clank, Ratchet used this when he was in jail, in which it could have been upgraded into the Plasma Cord. Clank sent Ratchet the weapon in a Plasma Whipcream cake.

[edit] Mega Weapons

The Quantum Whip could be upgraded to the Mega Quantum Whip when playing the game in Challenge Mode. This upgrade cost 180,000 bolts (162,000 with Gadgetron discount). The Mega Quantum Whip had a power of 1400 with medium range and 50 ammo which cost 3 bolts each. At 10,000 experience points it upgraded to the Giga Quantum Whip and at 15,000 experience points it upgraded to the Omega Quantum Whip.

[edit] Bugs

If Ratchet swung the wrench, then immediately switched to the whip when he was out of ammo, it acted as if it had ammo in it. It would activate for a split second, lashing out, before going back to its "dead battery" mode. This cold be exploited as many times as desired, but was not necessarily the smartest choice, as there was a chance it won't activate and be left vulnerable to attack.
